Traditionally Diamonds have always been seen as a girl’s best friend. Buying someone a Diamond is making a statement as Diamonds are also said to be “forever”. Diamonds come in all shapes and sizes and are versatile enough to fit into all different types of jewellery from earrings to custom made pieces. If you don’t want to buy your loved one a diamond ring, perhaps a pendant is the next best option.

Pendants come in different sizes and there are a couple of things to be aware of when buying your diamond pendant. Diamonds are classified according to four different categories. These are known as the 4 C’s and they are representative of Colour, Clarity, Cut and Carat. All of these categories make up the quality of the diamond and also dictate the price of the stone. The same principles apply when
buying a diamond pendant as do when buying a diamond ring or earrings. If you want your diamond to sparkle then the most important factor to take into consideration is the cut. This does not directly relate to the shape of the stone but the amount of light that is reflected back through it. For a diamond that will radiate from your pendant the best cut to ask for is the ideal cut. Diamonds cut in this manner also the largest majority of the lightwaves to bounce back through the centre of the diamond.

Pendants can be custom designed and if you are buying a diamond pendant for a loved one you may want to consider one in the shape of a heart. Or perhaps you would prefer something less dramatic in the shape of an animal with diamonds set around the edges. Whatever pendant design you choose, the variations are limitless and buying a diamond set pendant will make all the difference.
